Excerpt from The Hill:
“A total disgrace that Turkey will not release a respected U.S. Pastor, Andrew Brunson, from prison. He has been held hostage far too long,” Trump tweeted. “(Erdoğan) should do something to free this wonderful Christian husband & father. He has done nothing wrong, and his family needs him!” he added. Trump, Vice President Pence and other U.S. officials have lobbied Turkish officials for months to release Brunson.
